Quotation Challenge

There’s a quotation group on Moblog, and it’s a lot of fun. You choose a quotation, then illustrate it photographically. Some quotations can be a real challenge. I’d like to do that here, but with a bit of a twist. Leave quotations you’d like to see illustrated here, and anyone can choose one, and illustrate it any way you like, with a photo, drawing, or other art form, then send it to quesneaffinity@gmail.com. Here’s an old one I did for the Moblog group, way back when, titled Perhaps:

“Perhaps the most lasting pleasure in life is the pleasure of not going to church.” – William Inge

Oscar Wilde tends to be my go-to for quotations… how about
“I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.”
or
“Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.”
or
“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”

Beautiful poem, that. We’re all a tiny cold flame in the heart of chaos. I shall see what I can do. It might take a while, so don’t hold your tentacles. I’ll let you know when I come up with something.

My first thought was remembering a scene from B5, where Londo Mollari tells Vir something his father said, which he didn’t understand until now: My shoes are too tight and I have forgotten how to dance. So, dancing while we can? It’s important.
